The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a role-playing video game released in 2015 by CD Projekt Red, a Polish studio. It follows Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter, as he searches for his adopted daughter across a war-torn fantasy world. The game is widely regarded as one of the finest in its genre, known for its storytelling, choice-driven quests and vast open world.
A "remaster" means the original game has been updated with improved graphics and technical performance for modern hardware, rather than being a new story or sequel. Remasters of older, popular games are common in the industry, allowing them to run better on current consoles and PCs and reach new players who missed them first time round.
CD Projekt Red is also the developer behind the wider Witcher series, based on novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, as well as the game Cyberpunk 2077. The studio's handling of past releases, including patches and post-launch support, has shaped how closely its output tends to be watched by the gaming community.
